the periphery with pale vinaceous fawn, on the last whorl a peripheral 

 band of white, base white, subperipheral band pale ecru drab ; im- 

 pressed sutural band pale vinaceous fawn; lip and columella callus 

 white faintly tinted with pale vinaceous fawn. Length 19.0 mm., 

 greater diameter 12.8 mm., spire height 10.4 mm., number of 

 whorls 6^. 



The color may be light pink (pi. 10, fig. i6a) and the color pattern 

 may resemble that of A. a. lilacea (pi. 10, fig. 10), although differing 

 in having the last whorl, just below the periphery and at the base, 

 banded and lined with white.

Achatinella szvijtii Newcomb, Pilsbry and Cooke, Man. Conch., vol. 22, pp. 309,

Area?: Kalaikoa, Gulick. 



The form was described by Smith as a variety of A. a. gulickii. 

 It is probably an intermediate race between A. a. gulickii var. i and 

 A. a. flavida. The postembryonic whorls are of a pinkish color above 

 the periphery, last whorl at and below the periphery banded with 

 yellow. 



The usual color pattern (pl. 10, fig. 21) on 37 percent of the 

 shells has the embryonic whorls white, shading to cream buff on 

 the last half embryonic whorl ; first half postembryonic whorl vina- 

 ceous fawn with a central line of pale pinkish cinnamon, the remain- 

 ing postembryonic whorls vinaceous pink, lined and axially streaked 

 with pale pinkish cinnamon, the last whorl is tinted with chamois, 

 a band of fawn color below the pale pinkish cinnamon band just 

 below the edge of the periphery, base cream bufl: tinged with chamois ; 

 impressed sutural band pale pinkish cinnamon ; lip and columella 

 ■ callus a very dilute tint of a pink or tilleul bufif. 



Thirty-three percent have a lighter or yellow color pattern (pl. 10, 

 fig. 21 a) ; the first postembryonic whorl and a half pale drab gray 

 axially streaked with light cinnamon drab, first half of last whorl 

 above the periphery pale drab gray tinged with chamois, last half 

 almost entirely chamois, base chamois below the peripheral band of 

 chamois, subperipheral band a faint shade of drab gray covered over 

 by the ground color ; impressed sutural band pale pinkish cinnamon. 



A sinistral specimen (pl. 10, fig. 21b) shows the dark form of 

 30 percent of the shells ; postembryonic whorls above the periphery 

 fawn color; impressed sutural band fawn color; subsutural band or
